The NewPortHandler Program

NewPortHandler is a new version of "port-handler" that permits the
device name and unit to be specified. It is mainly useful for printing 
or sending serial information from the command line (e.g. copy file to
LPT1: or SER:), although you may prefer to use IOWedge.

To use NewPortHandler, first copy it to your l: directory.  Then,  
create an entry in your "devs:MountList" file (or a new DOSdriver file
starting with AmigaDOS 2.1) like this:


LPT1: 
FileSystem	=	L:NewPortHandler
Device		=	"ibmprint.device"
Unit		= 	0
StackSize	=	2000
Priority	=	5
GlobVec		=	-1
Surfaces	=	0; BlocksPerTrack=0; LowCyl=0; HighCyl=0;#
#

The name (LPT1), device ("ibmprint.device") and unit (0) may be changed 
to anything suitable, but the rest must be copied exactly as shown. The
extra information about surfaces and cylinders is not used, of course;
its only purpose is to trick the Mount command into working properly.
Change the "ibmprint.device" to be "ibmser.device" if you wish to mount
a serial device.
